Shaitan

Shaitan are the adversaries from the jinn nations. Their leader was said to be a being by the name of Iblis. What makes a jinn a shaitan is being one of Iblis sympathizers. The shaitan have a responsibility on the earth as the “devil’s advocates.” The devils in this case being non-believers in Allah. The angels are watching jinn as much as they are watching humanity.

In the belief of Islam, people are tempted to sin only because of the power granted to Iblis to whisper to the souls of humanity. The choice to obey the suggestion is still that of the individual. The devil according to their belief cannot literally make you do anything.

“The Shaitan only desires to cause enmity and hatred to spring in your midst by means of intoxicants and games of chance, and to keep you off from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will you then desist?” Quran (c. 651 AD)
